Answer:

The final depth of Melissa is 14 meters below the surface

Step-by-step explanation:

In this kind of problems, involving directions, etc, usually one position is the positive direction and the other position is the negative direction.

In our problem, we suppose that the surface is the positivo zero, above the surface is the positive position(positive depth) and below the surface is the negative directions(negative depth).

The problem states that Melissa is 29 meters below the surface. So, her initial position is 29 meters in the negative direction, so it is equal to -29.

Then, the problem states that Melissa rises upward 15 meters. Upward is the positive direction, so she moved to the positive direction. It means that we are going to do -29+15 = -14 meters.

It means that the final depth of Melissa is 14 meters below the surface

Answer:

A) 30 cubes.

B) 30 units³.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 1. Calculate the volume of the rectangular prism, as following:

$Vr=(lenght)(width)(height)$

2. You have that:

- The length is: $1^{\frac{1}{2}}ft=1.5ft$

- The width is: $1ft$

- The heigth is: $2^{\frac{1}{2}}ft=2.5ft$

3. Substitute these values into the formula:

$Vr=(1.5ft)(1ft)(2.5ft)=3.75ft^{3}$

4. The volume of one cube is:

$Vc=side^{3}$

5. The length of one side is: $\frac{1}{2}ft=0.5ft$

6. Substitute this value into the formula:

$Vc=(0.5ft)^{3}=0.125ft^{3}$

7. The number of small cubes that can be packed in the rectangular prism is:

$cubes=\frac{Vr}{Vc}\\cubes=\frac{3.75ft^{3}}{0.125ft^{3}}\\cubes=30$

B) 1. The length, the width and the height of the rectangular prism in term of units cubes is:

$Length=\frac{1.5ft}{0.5ft}=3units$

$Width=\frac{1ft}{0.5ft}=2units$

$Heigth=\frac{2.5ft}{0.5ft}=5units$

2. Therefore, the volume of the rectagular prism in terms of the small cube and a unit cube is:

$Vr=(3units)(2units)(5units)=30units^{3}$

6. they were 300 people at a football match and 35% were adults, the rest were children a. what percentage were children

ioda

Answer: 65%, 195 children

Step-by-step explanation: To get this, we just do 100-35 to get 65 percent. We can calculate this further, and do 300*0.65, and we get 195. Thus, there were 195 children.
